Description
The challenge for every dad of a daughter is to engage her in conversations that are meaningful and life-giving, especially during difficult times. Having insight into what to say and how to say it will distinguish you in building a healthy bond with your daughter.Many great father-daughter books highlight the benefits of being an engaged father, cite statistics about the impact fathers have on a daughter’s life, and give practical advice about how to foster such relationships.
